Chapter 7 The Target Is Lost!

Bang!

Tony fired into the air.

The flare traced an arc trajectory, flew into the air more than 20 meters high, and then slowly fell.

The red illumination light was particularly conspicuous in the desert at night, bright enough to clearly illuminate the faces of the two people on the ground.

"Okay, just wait a few minutes and someone will pick us up." Tony threw down the flare gun.

If a signal flare appears near the garrison base, the United States will definitely use satellites to check it. When the time comes, it will find him here and send a rescue team immediately.

Tony looked at Ethan: "Come to America with me Ethan, and take your family with you."

He could see that Ethan had been hesitant to speak since just now.

Ethan's eyes were a little complicated: "My family members are all dead. In fact, Tony, I would rather go back to Iran and do my best to help more people in need."

The words Tony had just thought about suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he realized that the savior in front of him had a more tragic past.

But then he would have to take Ethan to the United States.

"Ethan..." he said apologetically and heavily, "I don't know...about your family, I'm sorry."

Ethan shook his head and said not to mind.

Tony continued: "I can understand your desire to return home."

He could see that Ethan returned to his hometown with an obvious desire to die, and actually wanted to do something sacrificing his life.

He paused: "But what Leon said before is right. I go back this time to help more people."

“The contribution I can make to the world.”

"It shouldn't just be something that explodes."

He tapped the Ark Reactor on his chest with his fingertips, his eyes blazing: "Ethan, you can come and join me, we can better help people injured by violence, and then make the world change for the better. "

Ethan stared blankly at the Ark Reactor. It was indeed a technology that could change the world. He hesitated a little.

boom!

Suddenly the roar of the engine came from the distance, and the sound became louder and louder.

A patrol plane moves from far to near.

"Half a minute after the flare was sent out, the rescue plane arrived?" Ethan couldn't help but marvel, "They are so efficient!"

Then he watched helplessly as the plane passed overhead and flew into the distance.

"...It doesn't seem to be a rescue team. It looks like a light patrol plane. I guess it was chasing Leon. He was discovered by the base."

Tony stared at the fighter plane flying away: "But the speed doesn't even reach the speed of sound, so they can't catch up with Lyon."

"Wait a minute, Leon's appearance was too flashy, and those people's attention was attracted to him."

"But next time I put on the MK armor, I will definitely attract the attention of those red necks in the military."

Tony walked a few steps in place: "Of course, there are yours too. You will also have to have your own suit of armor by then."

"When the time comes, we can have a team called...MK Team? It doesn't seem to be possible, call it..."

Three minutes passed as Tony chattered incessantly, and another dense sound of engines came faintly from the sky.

It was a formation of three helicopters.

"Oh! Look, our rescue team is coming!"

The two people, who were thirsty after staying in the desert, jumped on the ground and waved.

other side.

As Tony said, Leon was not overtaken by the patrol plane.

After all, in half a minute, this distance was enough for him to fly back and forth several times.

When the patrol plane caught him halfway, he had already flown out of Afghanistan with the Mark armor and drawings.

However, unexpectedly, when entering California, Lyon was intercepted by another group of fighter planes.

——After finding Tony’s treasure from the collapsed cave.

He carried the armor over Afghanistan and flew to the outer thermosphere of the atmosphere.

Then accelerate to Mach thirty.

It only took twenty minutes to cross half of the world and return to North America.

He lowered his altitude over the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, slowed down to low supersonic speeds, and flew into California.

The Stark family's mansion is on the west coast of Los Angeles, California.

He only needs to cross the Coast Mountains of California to reach it.

But because his speed dropped too much but not enough, he was photographed by a satellite above him as soon as he entered the country.

…

On the surveillance screen at the US military base.

A figure moving at nearly twice the speed of sound over the mountains caught the operator's attention.

After zooming in and observing, they were surprised to find that it was a small flying unit.

Although the opponent's image is blurry for some reason (covered by a biological force field).

But it looks like a flying humanoid object.

The soldiers immediately reported the situation to their superiors.

"What is that? Connect the other party's communication and let them land for inspection! Whether it is the CIA or the Navy, let this good thing fall down for us to see first!" The commander looked serious.

"Sir, there is no response from the other party's radio!"

"Sir, the CIA and the Navy have just contacted us, asking if the flying object belongs to us and requesting the submission of intelligence!"

"We? We have this little thing that's close to twice the speed of sound and has a long battery life?"

"Not yet, sir!"

"Shit! Go to the Weapons Research Department and ask Colonel Rhodes to come over!"

"Colonel Rhodes is in Afghanistan looking for Tonistar, sir!"

"Goddamn! Then give me the database comparison! Radar lock! Satellite lock! Give me the clearest satellite picture!"

"Report, sir! There is no similar record in the database comparison! The target cross-section is too small and the radar cannot lock! The satellite image is blurred due to unknown interference! Sir, what should we do?"

"...wtf? Who can tell me what this thing that appeared out of thin air and is flying over our heads is?"

"I don't know, sir!"

"Damn it! Is there any high-altitude surveillance unit in the West Coast Mountains? Send them to shoot this thing down!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

Lyon was originally flying towards Los Angeles in silence and bored.

Suddenly his ears moved, and he turned sideways and looked up.

He heard the roar of four engines deviating from the trajectory and approaching him.

"I was seen by the satellite?" Lyon guessed, slowing down a little to check the situation, "It's because I'm not fast enough, so I was noticed, it's really troublesome."

"Flying below the speed of sound is too slow, and low supersonic speed makes it easy for satellites to detect abnormalities and lock immediately."

"Maybe next time I have to consider flying at a speed above Mach 10."

At this time, another voice came to his ear.

"Lock on the target!" a pilot shouted over the radio.

"The missile launcher is ready, waiting for the final order!"

The commander at the US military base ordered: "Aim! Shoot! Shoot down that flying object for me!"

"Global Hawk received!"

"Warning command received!"

Four planes dived from high altitude. Although it was still difficult to close the distance with Lyon, it was enough to hit the target with airborne missiles.

"Fire!"

Missiles were fired one after another, and the speed climbed to more than Mach 5 in a few seconds, chasing Lyon.

Lyon looked back, his eyes passed through the clouds and saw the missiles spraying flames thousands of meters away.

That was a powerful weapon that could destroy any air vehicle.

But for him now, he couldn't even tickle it.

So Lyon suddenly had an impulse to stop and catch the missile, and then walk out of the fire without a speck of dust, shocking the eyes of the US military.

As the saying goes, if you have a body of steel and don't pretend, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes.

Pretending is a deep desire engraved in human genes.

Abraham Maslow once listed the need to show off at the fourth level of the five major needs of human beings.

When people are well fed and have no threat to their life safety, and have a certain degree of social interaction, they will naturally want to show off.

Leon cannot get rid of this worldly desire.

But he thought about it.

In the next period of time, Tony will definitely make a new armor and show it off after he comes back.

There is a scene in the movie where Tony failed to show off and was bombed by the US military.

So, instead of showing off now.

It would be better to wait until Tony is full of pride but is slapped in the face by the US military before appearing on the stage.

After all, showing off in front of good brothers can gain the highest level of psychological satisfaction.

When he thought of the expression Tony would show at that time.

Leon couldn't help but grin.

Now that he has superhuman abilities, he doesn't want to be a native, saying that he doesn't eat beef.

He just wants to continue to strengthen his strength, and then do something that makes him happy in the process of strengthening his strength.

For example, pretending to be something Tony wanted to pretend but couldn't in front of Tony.

Thinking of this.

Leon looked up at the missiles attacking from above the thick clouds, and with a thought, his speed instantly increased to Mach 20, disappearing from the lock of the US military satellite.

"What the hell! The target disappeared!" the pilot said in horror.

"Report! The missile did not hit the target!"

"The target is lost! Repeat, the target is lost! It is suspected to have a stealth function!"

In the US military base, the commander's eyes were stunned: "What? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible, continue to search the entire area, and you must find the other party for me!"

There was a commotion in the command room.

It can be predicted that the entire Ministry of Defense will be suspicious and uneasy for some time to come.
